3 Days Samburu Safari

Discover the wild heart of Kenya with our 3 days Samburu safari, designed for travelers who are looking for authentic encounters with nature and culture. This adventure takes you to the scenic northern reserves of Samburu National Reserve, Buffalo Springs, and Shaba—less crowded gems that offer a unique blend of dramatic landscapes, rare wildlife, and rich traditions.

Whether you are a first-time visitor or a returning traveler, this Samburu safari package promises unforgettable experiences.

The tour kicks off with a picturesque drive from Nairobi through Kenya’s fertile highlands, offering breathtaking views of Mount Kenya, a stop over at the Equator,  before descending into the arid lowlands of Samburu and Isiolo Counties.

Your first destination is Buffalo Springs National Reserve, where you will relax with a swim in the natural springs pool and later enjoy a game drive to spot elephants, lions, and other iconic wildlife. This is an ideal start to unwind and immerse yourself in nature’s rhythm.

Day two is a full-day game viewing adventure in Samburu National Reserve, home to the famed Samburu Special Five – rare animals like the Grevy’s zebra, reticulated giraffe, Somali ostrich, Beisa Oryx, and gerenuk. This park is also known for its elephant herds and big cat sightings.

Along the Ewaso Nyiro River, you may also encounter local communities and learn more about Samburu culture traditions, known for their colorful dress, intricate beadwork, and age-old customs that have been preserved for generations.

On the final morning, enjoy a game drive in the nearby Shaba National Reserve, where volcanic landscapes, natural springs, and acacia woodlands create a peaceful wildlife haven. You will head back to Nairobi, ending your trip with beautiful memories and wildlife photos to cherish.

With affordable 3 days Samburu safari cost options, this package is ideal for couples, families, solo travelers, and small groups looking to experience an off-the-beaten-path safari. It combines stunning game drives, cultural experiences, and relaxing moments, making it one of the most rewarding short safaris in Kenya.
